• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

    ? From a fixing to be

    I certainly don't have "deep pockets" but I did purchase my spyder with cash. I guess you like paying banks interest? :dontknow:

    Handling

    Ha, I recently purchased a 2009 RS with 150 miles on it from a private seller and rode it 150 miles home at freeway speeds (80+)....First ride on a Spyder, didn't scare me at all. I grew up riding dirt bikes and had a sport bike in high school. Maybe it's an age thing? :D :dontknow:

    I vote - save money and purchase the 2010. :thumbup: BTW, it's nice to see someone else from Lumberton on this forum. I grew up there but left in 2002 after college. My parents still live in the area, though...

    O2 modifier - VERY HAPPY

    BlackWidow, are you referring to the rubber air tubes on the stock airbox? The tubes are acoustically tuned to lower throttle body and air intake noise. They also benefit from drawing cooler air near the front of the air dam. The KewlMetal intake will flow more air but, with the plastic body...

    No more 2 bros pipe

    What exactly does "hogged out" mean? Sounds like the canister just needs to be repacked and riveted. Am I over simplifying this? :dontknow:

    Temporarily Disable VSS?

    That's how all Spyders react. > 50% steering angle + throttle = engine sputter :sour: I'd be much happier with > 80% steering angle + throttle = engine sputter One could certainly reduce the steering angle feedback to the ECU. This would trick the ECU into thinking the wheel is turned less...

    A paper from Bosch about the "Nanny"

    I'm still waiting for the addendum that explains how to disable traction control. :D

    Temporarily Disable VSS?

    Just ran a quick test in a parking lot outside my neighborhood. Closing the brake circuit and/or parking brake circuit does not prevent VSS from cutting engine power. The primary factor for VSS engagement appears to be steering angle.

    Temporarily Disable VSS?

    Agreed. I'm not questioning the intent of the stability control (braking individual wheels) to prevent rollovers. However, I am questioning the inability to turn off traction control. For example, if you're stuck in the snow you'll inevitably get wheel slippage. That's the primary reason cars...

    Temporarily Disable VSS?

    I'm trying to avoid the throttle kill as Lamonster demonstrated in the video below:

    Temporarily Disable VSS?

    This subject may have been beat to death but I haven't found an optimal solution yet. :doorag: I'm seeking a way to temporarily disable the "throttle kill" feature of the VSS when cornering at low speeds or making a sharp turn from a stop. I get embarrassed when I'm only going 10 MPH and the...
